I'm trying to plan ahead to start getting what I need for the puppy when he comes home? What size collar do I need for a 11 week old Golden? Also, what is the next size up? Will I go through 3-4 sizes as he grows or do they adjust so I just get the 11 week one that should last him for awhile and then the adult one? Also, I've heard it is better to get collars that have the engraving plate attached vs dangling where it can fall off. Any recommendations on places that sell these on the internet or else where? Thanks

If you look on the cetacea site, you'll see that the smaller collars have smaller widths. You'll have to match collar width to your tag. Might be worthwhile to wait for a boomerang until he's big enough to handle a full sized collar. BTW, both my girls as adults wear the 1" large collar.

This looks like a great site? The collars are pretty adjustable. The mediums are 11.5-19 inches and the large are 15-25 inches. Do you think I could start with the medium and then move to a large when the dog got bigger? Would an 11 week old puppy have a neck smaller than 11.5?

My full grown springer is in a medium. He could wear the large, but at 57 lbs does fine in the medium. SO, I'm guessing that you'd need a small for a little pup....... They are so cheap, you could always buy both and if he can fit the medium send the other back. I see the small is only $5. BTW.... my redhead looks wonderful in that pattern that is a green and rust and my blond looks good in the blue and purple.

Puppy is ususally the 10-14 size 5/8 or 3/4. My puppy is 11 weeks & still wears it comfortably. I had 2 phone numbers & "medication needed" engraved on her tag. Our breeder advised against putting the name because it lets someone who finds her have the advantage of knowing the name. I read to put the bit about the medications so if someone finds them "steals" them they will more likely give them back if they think the dog has a problem.

I’m sure this is a very common topic, but my husband and I are so torn on whether we get a golden retriever or a golden doodle as we will be first time dog owners, and would love some guidance. At this point, I think I’m about to just flip a coin!!

I have no idea where the last 5 years went! It's hard to believe that my "forever puppy" is now officially middle-aged. This is the first birthday he's had where I was not asked if he was a puppy, which I found kind of sad LOL. I am so blessed to have spent the last 5 years with him and I hope...

We have successfully trained Kona to pee on a small patch of artificial turf, which simply sits on concrete in our side yard and allows the urine to flow into a drain.

Looking for help from you masters of K9Data. I haven't had to upload a picture of my pups to k9Data for years, and I know that until recently, it wasn't even possible (they were having trouble with Photobucket hosting??). I read that it was possible again and I sat down to do it today and...

As summery weather kicks in here in the Midwest, we have had a stretch of warmer days in the 80’s. We are noticing that our one year old golden is really having a hard time with the heat. He is more lethargic during the day, pants a lot more (even though we keep our air set to 73 degrees!), and...
